Key Responsibilities:

Design & Development 

• Design and develop mechanical components and assemblies for automotive products (ICS, IVI and electronics packaging as applicable). 

• Create and maintain 3D CAD models and 2D drawings (GD&T) using tools such as CATIA, NX, or SolidWorks. 

• Perform tolerance stack-ups, material selection, and design for manufacturability (DFM/DFA). 

• Support system-level architecture and mechanical integration. 

Analysis & Validation 

• Conduct or support CAE/FEA analysis (thermal, structural, vibration, fatigue) as required. 

• Develop and execute DV/PV test plans and support validation testing. 

• Support root cause analysis and corrective actions for design or field issues. 

Program & Cross-Functional Support 

• Work closely with Program Management to meet program timing, cost, and quality targets. 

• Interface with suppliers on design reviews, technical feasibility, and issue resolution. 

• Support prototype builds, design reviews, and engineering change management (ECR/ECO). 

Manufacturing & Launch 

• Support manufacturing process development, tooling reviews, and pilot builds. 

• Resolve manufacturing and launch issues related to mechanical design. 

• Participate in APQP activities including DFMEA, PFMEA, and PPAP support. 

Customer & Quality 

• Support customer engineering reviews and technical discussions. 

• Ensure compliance with customer specifications, internal standards, and regulatory requirements (OEM, IATF 16949, ISO, etc.).

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or related field. 

• 3+ years of experience in automotive mechanical design and development. 

• Strong experience with 3D CAD tools (CATIA/NX/SolidWorks). 

• Knowledge of automotive development processes (APQP, DV/PV, PPAP). 

• Solid understanding of materials, manufacturing processes (injection molding, die casting, 

stamping, machining). 

• Ability to work in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.

Preferred Qualifications: 

• Automotive or high-volume manufacturing experience

• Experience with RFQ processes and sourcing decisions

• Familiarity with APQP, DFMEA, PFMEA, and PPAP
